If I’m being cynical I’d say that it didn’t want to risk polarising people like Blair Witch. So it goes for a nice, safe polished version of the style to be as broadly appealing as possible

Yeah, I like found footage stuff but it actually has to feel like found footage. The whole point of the style is either to convince you that it’s real or to get your imagination to fill in the blanks, but Cloverfield can’t quite commit enough to make it work

This film annoyed me so much because it presents itself as found footage but can’t resist the temptation to go for gorgeous cinematic scenes Like there’s a bit where someone drops the camcorder and it happens to fall on a beautifully composed shot and it really bugs me

Honestly I’ve never understood the pushback against things moving to a lottery system when they get to that stage If something’s selling out almost instantly, then it’s pretty much just become a lottery anyway?

I just have extremely normal and altruistic concerns about the court that tries to stop crimes against humanity

If I was feeling generous, I’d say that the quote was removed because it only refers to one aspect of the report, but putting it in the summary without context makes it sound like it he’s referring to the whole thing But I’m not feeling generous because the BBC has a history of ADHD hit pieces

Don’t worry, within the hour they’d fixed it (by removing the quote)

Yeah, I’d have loved to see the pine marten win! One thing that’s a little bit of a shame about it going to a public vote is that it becomes a popularity contest, but it would have been nice for them to highlight some lesser known animals?

Idea: orgasm denial through text RP, where the more invested the other person gets the more ridiculous your euphemisms become

They had “Wes Streeting completely wrong” as the fourth bullet point under their headline for a while, but funnily enough that’s been replaced with a different quote now

Oh my god I love them

A lot of it will be marketing, but I think it hit a kind of critical mass where became a safe way to say you were _interested_ in that stuff regardless of its actual quality It’s the fuzzy handcuffs of porn, haha

Oh my god, haha

I’m trying not to knee-jerk over this, but I think it says a lot about how the narrative is being spun that the headline for this report is generally that ADHD and autism are “at risk” of over-diagnosis, then three or four lines in you get to “but it’s not currently and Streeting was wrong”

Wes Streeting might actually be one of the evil figures in British politics in years Just a petty, hateful man using the systems under his control to reinforce his own biases

Adding “biblically accurate QT” to my art idea list

good morning have you considered furret today?

I have now, thank you for the reminder ❤️

Yeah, I’ll put my hands up and say that I wrote some porn fanfics before I’d had sex that were almost certainly shockingly bad, and I’m glad they only ever existed as txt files on a now-dead laptop, haha
